Optimus 7 mango?

Will the optimus 7 get the mango update or not?
or if it does, will it be slow?
like how the 3gs getting the iOS 4 update is slow?

It will as the hardware capabilities allows it and the "mango" update has basically updates on functions nothing on the core, besides not all WP7 has been sold (as some of them are expensive like the optimus 7) still waiting on the shelves
i think you need to be patient and be part of this pioneering same as happened with other OS
peace

So, it is getting the mango update then?
would the specs be too low for mango?
and what about the other first launch wp7 phones?

Of course it will get Mango, it's just an update. If anything, it depends on your carrier to screw you over or not. And it should run just fine, since WP7 has some very strict hardware requirements that pretty much every device meets perfectly.
It's just a matter of waiting for it to arrive

Mango beta 2 is already available for the Optimus 7.
Also, Mango actually give a nice speed bump-up to current devices.

LG & Mango
Mango works great by following instructions from this site:
Im not able to link any links here so lets do it this way just copy paste and change ** off
h**p://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/get_the_mango_update_now._without_being_a_developer.-06-30-11
Installed that last night and there isnt much change but chevron ringtone thing is not working anymore, but ringtones is still there.

re-lock LG Optimus 7 from mango update

Yours

After Mango Beta 2 upgrade, I just used MFG the same as normal to unlock. I haven't tested to see if the unlock worked, I just assumed that since the registrys updated sucsessfully, that it is good.

I have been wondering myself, but haven't seen anything yet.

I also have a HTC arrive and currently there is no way to unlock it. Makes me sad too. Nodo added cdma support and since sprint is cdma anything pre nodo wont work on a htc arrive so there is no way to unlock exepct getting devolper code thing

Yes

Just get a Dev unlock... do some reading. If you have access to a .edu email account, it's free with a little work. If you dont have a edu email, google it, there is a few ways to get one free for this use.
Otherwise, no you can't unlock your arrive because it's got NoDo on it.

yes it is very possible to unlock the HTC arrive, but what I am looking for is a way to remove the sideload limit in mango on the arrive? has anyone figured this out yet?

I'm running RTM 7720 with the "no-unlock" alternative. No problems whatsoever.

You may have to go back to nodo and I can't answer any questions about side loading due to my MS Partner agreement, but here is a link to the procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238841
Are you certain you want to go through all of this this close to carrier release? You will want your carrier release because it will probably have some specific driver enhancements, ring tones, carrier-ware, etc., not to mention support issues.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Unlock/Jailbreak A HTC Radar?

Hi, I'm new with windows phone 7. I just got myself a HTC Radar, been looking around on how to actually install Homebrew apps or things like that. I did not manage to get anything to work even with ChevronWP7.
Is there any other alternatives?

Are you on mango or nodo?

I'm on Windows Phone 7.5 Mango i guess. I'm not sure how to check but the other time i bought the phone i asked the guy he said its Running on Mango.

Check by opening Settings->About. There should be written Windows Phone 7.5.
If you're on mango there is no way to fully unlock WP7.5. However you can use the new ChevronWP7 or get a Apphub account. Are you a student?

Nope i'm no longer a student finish school 2 years ago. ChevronWP7 i have to pay for it.. Plus thats sad. I don't mind having to fully unlock my WP7.5, i just want to have apps that are not in MarketPlace.
And yes i checked the settings like you said. It says Windows Phone 7.5.

Did you use the latest chevron unlock at
http://labs.chevronwp7.com/
It's 9$ and let's you use 10 unsigned apps.

Why did you ask him if he was a student?
Any idea of when more Chevron tokens will be available?

^ If you are a student, you can get a free student developer unlock, which normally costs $99 a year. No news from the Chevron team on tokens yet.

^Any links to how I can get that unlock?

[ROM][5-April] Sprint - HTC Arrive - Tango Port - Cooked Rom

This is basically a stock mango shipped rom with tango(7.10.8773.98) features added.
Not unlocked or customized in any way.
English, Sprint only rom.
You must have an unlocked bootloader to load this rom.
This will not overwrite your HSPL.
I plan on releasing a custom version, but this version will let you test the new features.
Warning: I am unsure what the Zune updatablilty will be with this version, so make sure you have a backup plan.
Warning: Flashing this rom is risky and may void your warranty, I am not responsible for any damage using this rom may cause.

If this is for the HTC Arrive nice.If you want a idea of what you should put look at the 7 pro roms so you can get a idea(like option to map what the search button does etc...)

yeah it's for the arrive... i have a working port but it's from someone else's rom and I'd like to do my own. i have some ideas but wanted to get a feel for everyone's wants

If you can somehow find a way to kill the 160 character limit in SMS that would be very nice. I have spent hours searching through registry edits looking for the solution but haven't found it yet. That and have it come loaded with Bazaar please!

The trophy doesn't have this problem and its a cdma wp7 device.
I admit thats the biggest bs with this phone now.

You mean you can type more than 160 chars and it still sends?

Exactly that. HTC Arrive is the only WP7 phone that cannot go past the 160 character limit in SMS. But you can type up to 1000 characters in MMS I believe. Which some people do as a crude way of fixing it. But nonetheless it'd be great if you could figure out how to get rid of that 160 character limit

Full landscape support... Good luck.

Nice work!
Nice to see some development in the sprint arrive section!
Is there a nice backup app yet for unlocked wp7 devices that everyone is using?

Nice.You plan on adding anything else in the unlocked version?

im thinking a stock tango with the unlock, and then a loaded version with all the bells n whistles

EDIT: Flashing the rom. will update with any bugs as I find them

I'm assuming since this is a straight "stock" Tango port that tethering is not enabled?

Thanks. I'll have to hold out for when it is. I can't afford to flash and lose that. lol

Yep, the only thing I need in a custom Arrive rom is Unlock and Tethering, I believe anything else is just fluff that may in a way break the rom in one way or another. I can do any of the Reg Tweeks I want myself. (BT Audio for Video and max quality mainly).
Unlike roms of the old Windows Mobile days, the stock OS works great out of the box, so messing with things outside of the device (especially one as unique as the CDMA devices now) is not a good idea IMO until things become more standard and tested. Sadly with such little interest in CDMA devices as of yet, we don't have a lot of experience to go off of yet.
(The WiFi issue with the DFT rom is annoying but bypassable. WiFi On, Cellular Data off, Reverse when needed.)

Thanks for all of your hard work in creating this ROM! I was able to use it as a base for my first attempt at cooking my own WP7 ROMs. I got Internet Sharing and full unlock enabled, but the Sprint Zone app and the Marketplace both give me errors about not being able to connect and that apps cannot be installed for my carrier. Have you had any better luck adding features to yours?

I agree.
Tethering is the mot important thing. This HTS T7575/Arrive is the first phone I've owned in 12 years (since I've started owning phones) that could not tether. It's sad. Sprint blames HTC. HTC blames Sprint. I''s actually Sprint, but c'mon. . . I digress.
My favorite ROM of the Windows Mobile days was this on http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp-d...om-6-5-x-23563-23138-21914-kitchen-clean.html

I installed 7.8 today on my lumia 800 and apparently, the app is not available. It says the phone is not up to date, or the app is not available due to carrier/region constraints. Any ideas what to do about this?

I installed it on my Samsung Focus and it is working fine.

Really? it works on any phone but nokias? I can't even install it...

you've installed an unreleased OS update and are wondering why apps don't work with it yet...
theres any number of reasons it might not work at this point, lets wait until an official update is released, (zune!) and see if they update the app.
as for the Focus, assuming its unlocked we can make it look like any device / version we can think of

The update is officially out, if you want to install it through nokia care. Nokia representatives confirmed, but i can't be bother to find the posts.
Any new lumia 7.5 model will get the 7.8 update out of the box. Existing ones can get it though care if they don't want to wait. They are currently working on a way of updating existing phones WITHOUT wiping all data.
So, bluetooth share is an issue right now, as many others reported (even in the marketplace comments).

7.8 has not been officially released by anyone regardless of where it is available
it would be most unfortunate that this turned in to a situation similar to when Mango was released, in that folk updated then couldn't get the official update because they didn't release the update from beta updates... meaning they had to wipe the device anyway.
everyone just needs some patience around 7.8, it will be out when MS and the networks say it is, supporting apps will be fixed to work with it when they too get fixed...

http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/windows-phone-7-8/m-p/1691664#M34863
read it.
Bluetooth share is most likely hidden in the marketplace by nokia.

The app can now be installed, but you need a direct link to the marketplace to do it. It still does not show up in the search or nokia collection.

Nokia BT Share 2.0.2.2
Direct Link http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/bluetooth-share/51f49c63-5966-4752-bb12-430455f911a8

Can't download directly.
Please attach XAP.
